Math Textbook Workshop at Arno

Towards the end of January, PSS District Supervisor Hebel Luther, PSS Math Curriculum Instructions Specialists Chizuko Matsumoto and Daishiro Taniguchi along with JOCV Junko Tanaka, Tomoko Kamochi, and Toshio Akiyama visited several schools in Arno. The group distributed the new math textbooks and manipulatives to the following schools: Arno, Bikarej, Jap, Lukoj, Matolen, Ulien, Tutu, Tinak, Kilange, Longar, and Ine. Two separate workshops were conducted for two groups. Workshop 1 participants were the teachers in Arno, Bikarej, Japo, Lukoj, Matolen, Ulien and Ine and Workshop 2 participants included teachers from Tutu, Tinak, Kilange, and Longar. In each workshop, teachers learned how to utilize the textbooks and manipulatives, participated in demonstration sample lessons, created lesson plans, and finally shared their lesson plans. Many of the facilitators believe that with more practice and continuous effort, these teachers will be able to master the new textbooks.
